TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME: i Re it known that I, WILLIAM H. HART, of Medield, in the countyl of Norfolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful or improved Ice-Water Receptacle, and do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, making part of this specification, and in Which- Figure 1 is a side elevation; andA l Figure 2 a vertical section of my invention. A

The said invention relates to an urn or receptacle` for holding iced water, and consists in combining with the nrn a rotar)r disk or shelfl for holding or supporting drinking utensils, and which revolves about the pedestal V of the urn in a manner similar to thecruet-supporting pla'te of an ordinary table-caster. i

In the drawings above referred to, A denotes the urn, which may be formed in anydesign or with any configuration which taste orV occasion may dictate, the urn having an interiorlining similar to those of iceA pitchers in common use, andbeing further provided with a discharging faucet, e,as shown in ig. 2 of the drawings. Circumscribing the pedestal a of the urn, and so as to revolve freely'about it and above the hase 'b of the urn, is a Acircuiar plate7 c, having shallow recesses formed in it for retaining the drinking glasses, shown at d cl, etc. 'In using the-above-described invention,` we will suppose it to be supplied with its full number of drinking vessels, and having a quantity of iced water within it. The plate c is to be partially revolved until one of the glasses comes 4underneath'the faucet e, which is'then to be opened, and the glass filled with water,

After this glass may have been' removed, the plate c may be again rotated suiciently to bring` the next glass under the faucet, and so on in succession as long as any may remain.

The object of the above-described invention is to obviate the necessity of raising the ordinary ice-pitcher, ot' which it takes the place, and which, it is well known, on account of its weight, is a great tax upon a persons strength at table, particularly when it is used by a lady, as is often the caso another object being to keep both tho drinking utensils and water receptacle together, and in a compact and convenient form. as well as to f orm an ornamental article of table furniture.

I claim the above described ice-water 1ecept: rcle, consisting of the .urn A, and the revolvingdisk or plate. c, for'holding drinking utensils, substantially in manner and for the purpose as above described.

WILLIAM H. HART.
